Dire Wolf Cookies!
Every week I will be making a 'Game of Thrones' themed food/drink item for each episode of season six of the hit HBO drama series. For the premiere, I made frozen strawberry 'margaeryitas.' The recipe for that drink is in my previous blog post. For the second episode, I made dire wolf cookies. Below are instructions on how to make this dessert.
The first thing you will need to do is purchase a dire wolf cookie cutter
. For this particular recipe, I used the small wolf cutter.
The chocolate sugar cookie recipe that I used can be found here. You will need to use a round cutter that has at least a 3 inch diameter. After baking the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack before decorating them. This could take about 20-25 minutes.
I made the dire wolf out of white fondant. Fondant is pretty easy to find in stores. You can purchase it at Jo-Ann Fabrics or at Walmart. With the help from this website, I made mine from scratch. Please note that these cookies do not require much fondant. I cut this particular fondant recipe by a fourth.
Before rolling out your fondant, sprinkle some corn starch on your work surface. This will prevent the fondant from sticking to your table. Roll out your fondant to about 1/4 of an inch thickness. I used a fondant roller, but a regular rolling pin should work fine. Dip the wolf cutter in a little bit of corn starch (this helps prevent it from sticking to the fondant), then proceed to make cut-outs in the fondant.
I used a tool set to carve out the teeth. If you don't own one, you can just use a paring knife.

To place the fondant on the cookie, all you have to do is put a little bit of water on the back of it and gently rub it onto the cookie. I dipped my pastry brush in a shallow bowl of water to do this, but you can also just use your finger.
Enjoy!!
